The great question of tarifft
"which agitates the country 'in
connection with McKinley's name,
has elicited comments from every
- nook and corner of the land. That
or. it is a measure in direct antago
nism to the enunciated principles
= of Demoracy; that it does not
meet the approval of the toiling
masses; that its ultimate inten
n tionsrare the perpetuity of the
power that has brought it into
existence; that it is a compensa
tion in return for election
S"boodle;" that it is to be made
to the future lever to boast its
1e authors again into place and
's authority, if it can be utilized,
°f have been clearly portrayed,
ýr Notwithstanding the broad and
untenable assertions that it is for
o revenue, and its protective plati
d tudes are in the interests of home
ý productions Lnd the fostering of
sAnimrican industries, no one who
a carefully scans its provisions, will
f, for a single instant concede. Its
whole tendency is in the interest
of the manufacturing corporations
in order to increase their revenue's
Sand profits fQr the express purpose
to secure means to purchase the
neat election at the polls.
r The Maine Democracy, Indis
mayed by long years ot defeat,
planting themselves with heroic
':fortitude on the principles of their
.party; still hopeful of theeventual
r triumph of enunciated doctrines
Sthat are rapidly attaining national
ascendancy, boldly anneounce that
, the triumph of Harrison and his
s party was due to corrupt methods,
r aad the open purchase of floaters1
in New York and Indiana. 1
r They further announce in their
hrecent platform: "Since his
accession to power, he (Harrison)
t has-shielded the bribers, reward
e the 'men who furnished the
corruption funds, and muzzled the
press, by subsidizing its editors
withilarge omcee, and the Re
publican leaders in Congress pro
I' . poseto enact a tariff act not for
ire'eoue, not even for protection,
rbut as a job to procure means a
with which to purchase the next

phis bold dj:'iicialisn of the

NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.
: . GUARDIAN-JOURNAL
ly Considerable business has been
rn transacted since my last letter.
,le The separate car bill, which. pro
vides that railway companies shall
furnish separate compartments for
he white and colored passengers, the
three cents a mile bill, the anti
'r trust bill and several others of im
Dn portance have passed the lower I
ly House, with good prospects of pas
a sing the Senate.
vy The committee, of which your
ie correspondent is a member, ap
a pointed to revise and reduce the
in judicial districts of the State has
a prepared a bill which reduces the
n. district Judges and district Attor
ýd neys from thirty to twenty. I
st think the bill will become a law;
;e if not it will owe its defeat to cer
is tain politicians who are seeking to
arrange their districts for their
own pIolitical aggrandizement, and
who have no cares for the good of
the State.
1 The Cotn-t of appeals will either
to be abolished or the number of
judges reduced to one half the
D number we now have, that iK, a
i constitutional amendment f,'r one
s of the purposes just mentioned
will be submitted to the pheojie.
i. The members of both houscs are
practically a u.nit in regard to re
n ducing the expenses of tlhe Judici
ary.
n A bill has been introduced ap
propriating money for the purpose
,, of constructing additional build
ings to the Insane Asylum. The
I, only trouble now with the asylum
R at Jackson is lack of room. They t
have plenty of means under the
I appropriation of 1888, but on ac
count of limited space many h*e
] been denied admission. Some fa
vor an additional asylum located
j in a different part of the State, c
while others simply favor an in.
ý, crease in size of the present build- a
ings. I feel safe in saying that
I something will be done to better
accommodate our unfortunate in
sane.
The Lottery is still impeding
legislation to some extF.i , t!hocu gh
St is cone ded b·"every one except
t the reporters of the Times-I)emo- t
I crat that the measure is defeated. al
They claim they have the necessa
I ry two-thirds but still they do not
introduce t!e bill- The ftcts are
they lack ten members of having
ienough to carry the amendment
through the House. So far all
their efforts to break the solid ranks
of out forces have failed, notnwith. c
standing they have offered money
and polititical position for recruits
to the Lottery side. We are a J
small band but time will show
that we are strong 'enough to dle
feat Morris and Baldwin with all
their money.
Should we succeed in establish- '
ing a better Judiciary syste.m with
less expense-to the people and in
defeating the propositions of the
Lottery, which is the greatest
Iprse both politically and morally
thgt any people ever had; thon\a we
